Introduction

The H175M supports a range of battlefield operations through a proven commercial platform adapted for military requirements. Its flexibility enables operators to shift between tactical transport, casualty evacuation and combat support roles whilst maintaining commonality with established civil aviation training, logistics and sustainment infrastructure.

Designed for sustained operations in contested environments, the H175M provides a dependable mission platform for armed forces requiring medium-lift capability, operational range and crew survivability. The H175M combines commercial platform maturity with military mission systems, offering forces a lower-risk capability path through proven civil heritage.
